At this time, our priority is to discuss the new Polaris 3.5 upgrade. We are hoping people will share their experiences as they have grown accustomed to the new options. Michele Largeteau has kindly offered to have a show and tell regarding the new 3.5 patron photo feature using a web cam.

Other topics open for discussion if time allows include:

• Polaris Enhancement voting
